DHAKA: Pakistan is determined to defend its tro- phy, but Sri Lanka’s captain Angelo Mathews remains optimistic as the two cricket giants face off in the opening match of the five-nation Asia Cup today, in the run-up to the Twenty20 World Cup. Pakistan, which won the title in 2012, is aiming to put pressure on its opponents with a team bal- ancing experienced players and newcomers. Both teams are focusing not just on the open- ing match but on the whole tournament. “We have played a lot against Pakistan and India,” Mathews told reporters at a news briefing yesterday. “We know them and they also know us.” “All the teams are even. They will want to win the matches. We also would like to win. Hopefully there will be a really good competition,” he added. For today’s opening match at Fatullah, Sri Lanka has one thing in its favor - it played here a month ago against Bangladesh, winning two tests, three one-day internationals and two Twenty20s.
